    Duration of ownership:30 Days

    Strengths: Comfortable, Noise reduction works as well as advertised

    Weaknesses: Took a longer on the first charge than the instructions said but was fine after that.

    Overall Evaluation: Ordered this as a present for my wife. It works as advertised.She's tried it in her car at her work next to a flow hood. Both are noisy backgrounds to talk on a phone. Works like a charm. He voice is always clear. Occasionally there is a water fall noise but she remains clear. Having driven and had to turn off my radio and close my windows to answer the phone this makes things easier.

    Strengths: Best in the market at cutting out road/people noise. Stays in your ear better than most and with the least amount of discomfort.

    Weaknesses: Person on other end cannot hear you at all when it's windy outside. Battery dies quickly if it remains on 24/7. If people talk too loudly, it hurts on your end. If you talk too loudly, they get feedba

    Overall Evaluation: I and three other people in my family now all have the Jawbone headsets. The other three have tried numerous headsets that are on the market. They all travel in their vehicles and are in very noisy restaurants and stores when talking on their phones. The Jawbone is THE best at cutting down all that peripheral noise. My mom can be in Starbucks with the music blaring and people shouting, and I can barely hear a thing. My dad can be on his 16-wheeler truck, and I hear little road noise. The biggest con is that if you're wearing it outside and it's windy, the person on the other end cannot hear you. That is quite frustrating, though not enough to not buy it. It IS pricey but well worth it! The best thing is, if you have any trouble with the earbuds or anything, you just call Jawbone and they send you out a replacement.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Noise cancellation technology is excellent. Very comfortable with a bit of adjustment. Many fittings to choose from to conform to your ear. Great talk time, will last as long as my phone (SE K55i).

    Weaknesses: Sound quality slightly below average, but clear. Some tones very loud, but tolerable.

    Overall Evaluation: This product has proven extremely useful in many noisy environments. I can be in my car listening to music with the window down without hearing complaints from the other end about any interference. Overall I would rate this 4

    Strengths: Blocks some of the ambient noise.

    Weaknesses: Doesn't perform as promised.

    Overall Evaluation: On a windy day, the other party has trouble hearing the conversation. It is definitely not as effective as the product advertisement indicates. I find it rather difficult to hear the other party even when the volume is turned up to the max level. I don't have my headset on my ear constantly but rather keep it in a shirt pocket. Placing the headset on my ear is cumbersome and is rather uncomfortable to wear. When pushing the button on the headset to end a call it activates the voice dialing program on a Blackberry Curve, which is very annoying. Haven't found a way to prevent this at this time. REM, the Blackberry manufacturer, doesn't know why this happens or how to prevent it.

    Strengths: Everything about it

    Weaknesses: None yet

    Overall Evaluation: I owned the Jabra before. I thought it was good but I did get alot of ambient noise. People always thought I was on a speaker phone, and I had ocasional static. So far I have not had any of these with the Jawbone. I highly recommend one to anyone that talks alot on the phone.

    Strengths: Great noise reduction--people can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t tell I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m on a headset. Good battery life. Pairs easily to my i-Phone. First headset I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve owned that had sufficient sound vol

    Weaknesses: Not completely tight against my ear--but still better than any other headset I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve tried.

    Overall Evaluation: After trying several different headsets (Motorola, Jabra), I finally decided to try the Jawbone after I was talking to a friend using his jawbone at an airport and I couldn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t tell he was on a headset or in a busy airport. This is a headset I can finally use in the car where I can hear the entire conversation and people don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t complain about sound quality and background noise. Linking to the i-Phone was very straight forward with no compatibility issues. This is the first headset that I am truly happy with. Only minor issue is fit against my ear, but I haven\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t yet tried all of the earbuds that come with the unit to check for a better fit.

    Strengths: The best headset I have ever used for sound quality, clarity, and loudness. Shields out background noises. Good looking.

    Weaknesses: Terrible fit on ear even with multiple ear pieces/buds. Proprietary charger means having to haul around TWO at home, work, and in the car.

    Overall Evaluation: I have had a cell phone since 1992, but wouldn't use a headset until the BT models came out. I have own several Motorola's, all top-of-the line, and they couldn't come close, even when paired with Moto phones, to the Jawbone in sound quality. It gets loud enough and yet is still clear. It isn't perfect by far...getting it on your ear is a major pain; it isn't a headset you can just slide on with one hand in a hurry. Once on, it isn't bad. I hate the charger...now I have to have TWO chargers everywhere, one for the phone and one for the headset; and they don't even offer a car charger yet - the place you would use it the most? The buttons are hidden, but that sometimes makes it difficult to push. And there appears to be no way to put one call on hold and answer an incoming call via the headset. I don't want my negative comments to discourage you because I think the most important purpose of a headset is the sound (and to look cool, ok, I said it) and for that it is top-notch. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the fit and charger.

    Strengths: Excellent tone quality, the noise cancellation is unbelievable and does function as promoted.

    Weaknesses: Controls are a little awkard to get used to and ear buds while servicable, could be better.

    Overall Evaluation: The jawbone was purchased primarily for the noise reduction due to useage in a daily very high noise level environment of a suv and automobile repair facilities. While it took a few days to get used to the slightly different profile of the unit, it has been quite comfortable and once I became use to the switches also easy to operate. Does it work? Many of my customers sometimes accuse me of being in the office rather than on the road since I have changed to the jawbone. Before customers would often tell me to call them back later and or they couldn't hear me for the noise. The voice tone quality is much better than the 3 Motorolas, Nokia, and Platonic bluetooth headsets previously used and then coupled with the amazing noise reduction without the typical loss of volume or echo chambers, makes the jawbone worth the extra expense. If fact we just purchased another unit (Christmas present) for a very good friend that has vehicle noise level problems as well. It will be nice to hear and understand him at a normal voice level.

    Duration of ownership:14 Weeks

    Strengths: Works great. Good volume. Noise cancellation great.

    Weaknesses: Buttons a little hard to use. Reliability poor.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought 2 of these and they both worked great until they just stopped working. Their reliability is questionable. The first one I got the earpiece fell off inexplicably and it stopped functioning even after I glued it back on. The plastic hooks holding the earpiece to the device just broke off. The second one I bought just stopped working. My cell phone just could not communicate with it. No matter what I did I couldn't pair up with it again. I had the first one for about 3 months before it broke and the second one only for about a week.
